Command: Work in Offline Mode

Function: The command switches to SVN offline mode. In SVN offline mode, the implicit locking and all commands which access the SVN repository are not possible.

Call:

  • Project → SVN menu

  • Context menu: SVN

Requirement: The project is linked to SVN.

When switching back to SVN online mode, all existing locks on the working copy are checked against the server. If the lock is invalid, then it is released.

Use case

The user on a machine wants to make changes to the project without disconnecting the connection. There is currently no connection to the server. Despite this, when automatic locking is activated, work is possible because the SVN offline mode deactivates the automatic lock temporarily.
